Interesting that the tagline is "THE MAN WHO MADE A MONSTER" but the face is that of the monster, contributing to the confusion that persists to this day.

And it's pronounced "Fronkunshteen"

It has done more than its fair share of digestion.

I hate you for making me Googlesleuth this

How is that 'justice'?

😭

Anaesthetist here - one of the few doctors who regularly jabs veins for a living - and an experienced nurse phlebotomist will match/better me as often as not.

Also mosquitoes don't target veins - they poke a hole into flesh and just start drawing.

This cartoon is misleading and unkind.

And even if he ultimately doesn't succeed, how much damage will he do trying? My guess is a lot more even than what he's already done.

I love the NO KINGS demonstrations. Keep it up.
But Trump actually doesn't care how unpopular he is, even among his base, as long as he can accrete in time the critical mass of power needed to be a true tyrant, which he is very close to getting (if - and I grant you - he doesn't implode first).

Anyway we might have to agree to disagree.
My bottom line is, you can't be certain, but you're probably right, and I hope you're right; nevertheless you should mobilise now anyway, because you can't afford to be wrong.

Things are little bit different if you're in the truck
The 'people in charge' you speak of should not be just observing -they have agency i.e. they can act
In my line of work if someone in ER is bleeding to death, yes, it doesn't matter if it was an accident or attempted murder: you act. You treat

So there are those saying "just you wait until the midterms" and others saying "you can't wait until the midterms".
With the best will in the world, a person in the former group isn't going to convince someone in the latter group that they're not being complacent. I'm in the latter group.

Yes you could well be right - I see the cracks too.
You might even be probably right.
But the stakes are too high to hope for the best.
If you're wrong, by the time you realise, it will be too late to change course.

Yes Trump is in steep decline, but apparatus behind him has already factored that in. They are not sitting still.

In many ways the damage has been done.
Postwar world order is trashed. Rule of law all but dead.
The checks and balances of a stable democracy undermined. The 'free' press trivialised.

I agree with everything you say about Trump, but the article comes across as assuming that Trump is the only moving part, and appears to ignore that Trump is a by-product/end-product of a deeper and more sinister seam that has been running under the American Experiment since its inception.

'suspicions'?! oh ffs

I'm not worried about Trump.
He's an idiot who thinks he's a genius.
He's the embodiment of Dunning-Kruger.
I'm worried about his *enablers*.
They're the ones with the plan.
They've already done damage that will take decades to repair.
And they are not going to stop until they are stopped.

No that logic doesn't hold.
The article is right in as far as stealing elections isn't easy.
He found that out on Jan 6.
That doesn't mean he won't try again.
Nor does it mean he won't succeed.
Complacency is your enemy

You do realise we left the rulebook behind quite a while ago?
What may seem inconceivable to you at the moment is exactly what Trump's enablers are gaming out right now.
I wouldn't be waiting for the midterms.
You can be sure they're not.

He won't leave peacefully.
And we can't afford to wait for the end of his legal term.
He has already committed more impeachable offences in 15 months than all other presidents before him combined.

Trump does not seek redemption.
He does not see himself as accountable to anyone.
Such a person won't stop if you demand their resignation.
They will only stop when you stop them.

Yes, but that is a rather softball question.
A slurry of turds poured into a pigskin sack would make a better president than Trump could ever be.

These propaganda videos are hugely entertaining 🍿🍿🍿
and there is truth to them, but just remember none of the protagonists in this conflict are 'the good guys'.
Civilians everywhere are paying the price.

Well actually, if the alternative is "people should only post comments that agree with me", couldn't you just ignore the idiots?

Feel free to ignore this 😉

Mark - you know we can't wait for the midterms, right?
Unless there is a radical intervention, there won't be midterms.
Trump may be an idiot, but his enablers are not.

Good analogy, albeit rather raw. Is your lawn ok now?

Journalists doing their job properly should raise this in every article they write about Kushner, like a warning label on cigarettes.

But they don't 🤬
